Proteins
Protein ingredients are essential for growth, tissue repair, and overall health, serving as the building blocks for muscles, organs, and other vital body structures. They also support reproductive health and immune function, making them indispensable for animal nutrition.
Fish Meal - Pure & Analogue
Protein: ~55% | 60% | 65%
Used in animal feed because it's a highly digestible, nutrient-rich source of protein, essential amino acids, lipids, minerals, and vitamins, crucial for optimal growth, development, and overall health in various farmed animals, especially fish and shrimp.
Poultry Meal
Protein: ~62%
Poultry meal is used in animal feed primarily because it's a high-quality source of protein, essential amino acids, vitamins, and minerals, making it a valuable ingredient for promoting healthy growth and development in various animal species.
Insect Protein Meal
Protein: ~40% | 55% | 60%
Black soldier fly larva (BSFL) protein meal is a nutrient-rich, sustainable feed ingredient made from dried and ground larvae. High in protein, essential amino acids, and fats, it's ideal for poultry, aquaculture, and pet feed. As an eco-friendly alternative to fishmeal and soybean meal, BSFL reduces pressure on natural resources by recycling organic waste into valuable nutrition.
Meat & Bone Meal
Protein: ~45% - 50%
Meat and bone meal (MBM) is a high-protein animal feed ingredient made from the rendering of slaughterhouse by-products like meat trimmings, bones, and offal. It is rich in protein, calcium, and phosphorus, essential for healthy animal growth. MBM is commonly used in poultry, and pet feed formulations. It serves as a cost-effective alternative to plant-based proteins and supports nutrient density in feed.
Grains
Grains are a key ingredient in animal feed, offering essential nutrients like carbohydrates, protein, and fiber. They provide a primary energy source that supports growth and overall health. Highly digestible and palatable, grains are suitable for poultry, swine, cattle, and fish. Their affordability and easy storage make them a reliable choice in feed formulations.
Distillers Dried Grains with Solubles (DDGS)
Protein: 26%
Distillers Dried Grains with Solubles (DDGS) is a high-protein, high-energy by-product of ethanol production from grains like corn. Rich in protein, fiber, and fat, it's widely used in feed for poultry, cattle, swine, and aquaculture. DDGS supports healthy growth, improves feed efficiency, and offers a cost-effective, sustainable way to reduce waste.
Corn Gluten Meal (CGM)
Protein: 60%
Corn Gluten Meal (CGM) is a high-protein by-product of corn starch production, used in poultry, fish, and pet feed. It’s rich in amino acids, highly digestible, and supports animal growth. CGM also contains xanthophylls that enhance egg yolk and skin color. Its consistent quality and energy content make it a valuable feed ingredient.
Soybean Meal (SBM)
Protein: ~44% - 48%
Soybean Meal (SBM) is a high-protein, cost-effective feed ingredient with a rich amino acid profile, especially lysine. It supports muscle growth, efficient feed conversion, and is highly digestible. SBM is widely used in poultry, swine, cattle, and aquaculture feed. Its consistency and global availability make it a staple in feed formulations. It also blends well with other ingredients for balanced animal nutrition.
Corn
Carbohydrate: ~70% - 75%
Corn is a cost-effective, high-energy feed ingredient due to its rich starch content. It supports growth, reproduction, and overall animal performance with easily digestible calories. Corn is palatable, widely available, and easy to store. Though moderate in protein, it pairs well with ingredients like soybean meal for balanced nutrition. Its versatility makes it a staple in poultry, cattle, and aquaculture feed.
Oils
Oils provide concentrated energy in animal feed, supporting growth and overall performance. They increase calorie density, improving feed efficiency without adding volume. Oils supply essential fatty acids like omega-3 and omega-6 for immune and skin health. They also enhance feed palatability and reduce dustiness. Common feed oils include soybean, fish, palm, and canola oil.
Fish Oil
Fat: ~99%
Salmon and sardine fish oils are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, especially EPA and DHA, supporting animal health and development. They boost immune function, reproduction, brain, and heart health. In aquaculture, fish oils mimic natural diets, improving growth and fish quality. They enhance skin, coat, and appearance in pets and livestock. Fish oils also improve feed taste and provide concentrated energy.
Insect Oil
Fat: 30% - 70%
Insect oil is a sustainable, nutritious fat source for animal feed, rich in medium-chain fatty acids like lauric acid that support gut health and immunity. It’s easily digestible and improves feed palatability, suitable for poultry, pigs, fish, and pets. Insect oil reduces reliance on traditional oils like fish and soybean oil, promoting eco-friendly feed production. Made from insects such as black soldier fly larvae, it offers a renewable alternative for sustainable agriculture.
Additives
Additives in animal feed improve growth, feed efficiency, and overall health. They enhance digestibility and nutrient absorption for better dietary benefits. Vitamins, minerals, enzymes, and probiotics support immunity, gut health, and disease resistance. Antioxidants and mold inhibitors preserve feed quality and extend shelf life. Overall, additives boost productivity, animal health, and sustainable farming.
Choline Chloride
Choline Chloride: 55% | 60%
Choline chloride is a vital nutrient in animal feed that supports fat metabolism, nerve function, and liver health. It helps prevent fatty liver syndrome, especially in poultry and swine. Choline is essential for cell membrane formation and neurotransmitter production, aiding muscle and brain function. Since animals often can’t produce enough naturally, supplementation boosts growth, productivity, and reproduction. It’s commonly added to feed for poultry, ruminants, and fish.
Di-Calcium Phosphate
Feed Grade, 100% Rock Source
Dicalcium phosphate (DCP) is a mineral supplement in animal feed that provides essential calcium and phosphorus. It contains 18–21% phosphorus and 23–28% calcium, vital for bone development, muscle function, and metabolism. DCP helps maintain the right calcium-to-phosphorus balance, crucial for fast-growing animals like poultry. It’s widely used in feed for livestock, poultry, aquaculture, and pets to support healthy growth and productivity.
Pellet Binder
Lignosulfonates >60%, Purity of Montmorillonite >90%
A pellet binder is an additive that helps hold feed particles together during pelleting, improving pellet quality. It increases pellet durability, reduces dust, and minimizes breakage during handling and transport. Pellet binders ensure animals receive uniform feed portions, boosting feed efficiency. They help maintain feed integrity, reduce waste, and enhance animal feed intake and performance.
